IMO larger tanks are more forgiving, more water equals less swings, more stable, basically everything you heard of is true. But the opposite is also true, it's more work to lug more water, if something goes wrong while it maybe easier to correct, it's also more expensive since you have more water... Lets also not forget about basic things like dry rock or even the tank itself... If you want more water its going to cost more overall. Everything has their pros and cons.
IMO the best tank size for an "easy" tank is between 75 and 150 gallons. That is the sweet spot, anything in-between there you will have stability, not to expensive(if you aren't buying the tank new lol) or if anything goes wrong, and is not to much work to overwhelm you.
